NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that free agent LT Jake Long is seeking $11 million per year on his next contract.

The Miami Herald reported late in January that Long was looking for upwards of $10 million annually. The Dolphins are reportedly only willing to give him around $6-7 million per year, so his chances of returning are looking slim if what Rapoport is hearing is true. Our own Evan Silva predicts a re-signing with the Dolphins for five years and $37.5 million after hitting the market exposes Long's value as not as rich as he hopes.

D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution tweeted Friday that he is not anticipating Julio Jones (toe, questionable) will play in Week 14 against the Rams.

This is just a beat writer guess, but reinforces that Julio is no lock to be active against the Rams after he did little to nothing during the practice week. Officially, Jones was listed as "DNP" all three days. Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that he "anticipates" Julio playing, but that may be mere coachspeak. If Julio is indeed active, he will be a boom-bust WR1. It's a very tough situation in the fantasy playoffs because Falcons-Rams doesn't kick off until 4:25 PM ET.

Jordan Reed (shoulder) is questionable for Week 14 against the Eagles.

He was reportedly in pain at Thursday's practice but was back out there on Friday and has a reasonable chance to play on Sunday after missing last week's game with a sprained AC joint. Reed will be a must-start if he gets the green light. Washington plays at 1 PM ET on Sunday.

Julio Jones (turf toe, questionable) will be a game-time decision Sunday in Week 14 against the Rams.

Jones is dealing with turf toe and didn't do much at practice this week. It's a dicey situation for fantasy owners with the Falcons not playing until 4:25 PM ET on Sunday. Coach Dan Quinn is "anticipating" that Jones will be available on Sunday, though he'll obviously be at far less than 100 percent. Fantasy owners need to have a backup plan in place. The Falcons have a great matchup against the hapless Rams but may not be able to take advantage of it with Jones hurting and Mohamed Sanu already ruled out with a groin injury.

Panthers LE Charles Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 14.

Johnson has been having a great year, particularly as a run defender. His loss was felt as Thomas Rawls gashed the Panthers last Sunday night, and will remain a significant factor this week against Melvin Gordon.

Luke Kuechly (concussion) is questionable for Week 14 against the Chargers.

Mario Addison (foot) and Kurt Coleman (concussion) also drew the questionable tag. Kuechly was a limited participant at practice this week. All signs point to him suiting up this week after missing the previous two games with a concussion. Obviously it would be a huge boost to Carolina's defense. Kuechly is arguably the best middle linebacker in football when healthy.

The Colts will be without four defensive starters for Week 14 against the Texans.

Colts LCB Patrick Robinson (groin), SS Clayton Geathers (neck), OLB Robert Mathis (bicep), and NT Zach Kerr (concussion) were all ruled out on Friday. It remains to be seen whether a lifeless Texans offense will be able to capitalize.

A.J. Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Browns.

There was never any question he would sit this week, but he has been working on the side fields with trainers during practice. It is possible Green will return next week. Brandon LaFell will continue to operate as the No. 1 receiver with Tyler Eifert and Tyler Boyd taking on big roles as well.

There was never any doubt Griffin would be activated as the team confirmed he will be the starting quarterback the rest of the way barring injury. Despite getting the starting nod, the offense around Griffin is too poor and the risk of an in-game injury is too high to trust him in standard leagues. OL Matt McCants was waived in a corresponding move.

It is not a surprise considering he practiced in full all week. With Denard Robinson (ankle) out and Chris Ivory (hamstring) questionable, Yeldon should have a bigger than normal workload this week. He is still just a low-end RB3 in a tough matchup with the Vikings.

Reed admitted he was still in pain after Thursday's practice, but it looks like he plans to play through it this week. Reed will likely be listed as questionable when the injury report comes out later Friday and is shaping up as a game-time decision.

Siemian practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, and it sounds like he will get in some work Friday as well. Klis said Siemian's mobility will be the key to his availability. After Paxton Lynch looked not ready to play last week, the Broncos need Siemian against the Titans.
